About DGT Opticians

For over 21 years, DGT Opticians has redefined what an optician can be.

Founded by Dhaval Girish Turakhia, DGT represents the third generation of a family deeply rooted in the eyewear industry. Building upon a longstanding legacy in vision care, Dhaval envisioned something different, an optical destination that moved beyond the conventional, clinical experience that defined the industry at the time. He recognised a gap in the market for eyewear that could be appreciated not merely as a necessity, but as an extension of personal style, identity, and luxury.

Today, DGT Opticians stands as one of India's foremost luxury eyewear destinations, where craftsmanship, fashion, technology, and personalised service come together seamlessly.

Housing over 50 of the world's most sought-after eyewear brands under one roof, DGT curates collections from across the globe, from the meticulous precision of Japanese artisanship to the refined elegance of Italian luxury houses, alongside independent designers and avant-garde creators who continue to shape contemporary eyewear culture.

What truly distinguishes DGT, however, is not simply its collection, but its philosophy.

At DGT, eyewear is approached much like a finely tailored jacket, a cherished watch, or a statement accessory,  deeply personal, thoughtfully chosen, and reflective of one's individuality. Every recommendation is informed by years of expertise, an understanding of aesthetics, facial architecture, lifestyle needs, and visual comfort.

Dhaval's approach has cultivated relationships that extend far beyond transactions. Clients often become lifelong patrons, friends, and members of the DGT family, returning not only for eyewear but for the trust, guidance, and experience they have come to value over the years.

Karishma Khanna Turakhia, Dhaval's wife and Co-Founder of DGT, envisioned more than an optical boutique. She envisioned the space to be an immersive destination where luxury is experienced through warmth, personal connection, and thoughtful service.

Today, DGT brings that vision to life through bespoke styling consultations, advanced lens expertise, exclusive launches, private previews, and the latest innovations in vision and hearing care, while staying true to its founding principles of craftsmanship, discretion, and impeccable service.

DGT Opticians is a house of vision, a destination for those who appreciate exceptional design, meaningful relationships, and the confidence that comes from finding a pair that feels unmistakably their own.

Twenty-one years on, DGT remains committed to discovering what next is, curating what is exceptional, and ensuring that every client walks away seeing—and feeling—the very best version of themselves.

The DGT Journey

1940s–1980s

A Family Legacy Begins

Eyewear and vision care have been part of the Turakhia family story for decades. Built on trust, craftsmanship and relationships, the family's legacy laid the foundation for what would later become DGT.

2005

DGT Opticians is Born

Dhaval Girish Turakhia identified a gap in the market. Opticians at the time were largely functional and clinical. He envisioned a destination where eyewear would be discovered and experienced much like fashion, watches or fine accessories.

DGT Opticians was established with the belief that choosing eyewear should be personal, luxurious and enjoyable.

2005–2010

Introducing Luxury Eyewear to Mumbai

DGT Opticians began curating independent designers and luxury houses from around the world, introducing clients to brands and craftsmanship rarely available in India.

The focus was never on volume. It was always about curation.

2010–2015

Building a Community

Clients gradually became more than customers. Relationships were nurtured over years, with families returning generation after generation, seeking trusted advice, personalised styling and visual expertise.

DGT evolved into a destination where people came not only to buy eyewear, but to discover pieces that reflected who they are.

2015–2020

Becoming a House of Eyewear

With an expanding portfolio of international brands, DGT strengthened its position as one of India's leading luxury eyewear boutiques.

Collections spanning Japanese precision, Italian craftsmanship, German engineering and independent artistry found a home under one roof.

2020–2025

The DGT Edge

More than frames, DGT refined its philosophy.

The DGT Edge emerged as a combination of:

• Personal styling expertise
• Advanced lens consultations
• Access to globally curated collections
• Bespoke recommendations
• Warm hospitality
• Long-standing client relationships built on trust

Luxury at DGT became less about products and more about experience.

2026

Celebrating 21 Years

Today, DGT houses over 50 of the world's finest eyewear brands, serving clients who appreciate craftsmanship, individuality and exceptional service.

As DGT enters its third decade, the vision remains unchanged: to continue redefining how eyewear is discovered, experienced and worn.

21 years of craftsmanship.
21 years of curation.
21 years of seeing luxury differently.

Beyond Vision

Building on over two decades of expertise in vision care, DGT expanded into premium hearing solutions, bringing the same commitment to technology, precision, personalised consultations, and exceptional service.

By combining luxury eyewear with advanced hearing care, DGT evolved into a destination dedicated to enhancing the way people both see and hear the world
